Make sure that the supply voltage is correctly set with a rip-
ple corresponding to the values indicated on the catalogue.
In case the noise produced by the power lines exceeds the
values foreseen by the CE norm (interference immunity), se-
parate the sensor cables from both the power and high tension
lines and insert it in a grounding metal raceway. Moreover it is
advisable to connect the sensor directly to the supply source
and not to other devices. To extend the supply and output ca-
bles, it is necessary to use a cable having conductors with a
minimum size of 1 mm
2
. The maximum length of extension is
100 m (this value is referred to a minimum tension and power
supply at the load of 100 mA). In industrial environments, we
recommend to use shielded cables in order to prevent possible
disturbances on the devices caused by electromagnetic fields
induced. Do not expose sensor head to hot water > 50 °C,
water steam, acids or solvents. Clean the active face of the
sensor with a wet cloth and then dry it.
